The Humans

Robby: My older, non-biological brother. The Stitch to my Lilo. We may not be blood, but Robby is the definition of ‘Ohana. He’s made plenty of guest appearances on the blog. You can find them here. He was shockingly well behaved the entire trip, and did everything I asked of him. (Except getting the date of the wedding correct in the first place.)
Lacey: One of the few good things to come out of working at Universal was this friendship. She’s been my best friend for the better part of five years now, and I don’t know what I’d do without her. She’s also spent most of those five years trying to make sure my hair doesn’t look stupid while we do whatever I’ve roped her into. See her previous guest appearances on the blog.
Gary: A former Skipper and one of the first real friends I made in Orlando. He left Florida in 2015 for the West Coast. Now he runs his own blog called Coasting With Culture where he talks about traveling the world to ride roller coasters. He was the one person Jay had never met that he let me put on the guest list. We managed to arrange a meeting in October 2019, about six months before the wedding, and thankfully they hit it off. You can read his coverage on the wedding here.

The Bears
Nip: The Baby Mickey I’ve had since I was a baby. Well. Except I lost him when I was three or four, and Nana got me a replacement, and now Toy Story 3 gives me nightmares. He’s been to Disney with us many times.
Stella Lou: A purple bunny that dreams of being a ballerina. When I saw the announcement for her, I screamed so loud I scared Jay, the dog, and the cat.
‘Olu-Mel: Originally just “’Olu”, this Hawaiian turtle is shy and likes to create beautiful music. He was created for Aulani.
